discovered the mistake, either, till she

Every young man who earns $50 per
month ought to buy lot and make a
start Of home. The way to get lot is
to save little money each month and
pay down on it. Don't spend all your
money on fine livery turnouts and expen-
sive dinners with gay companions. Put

Since the introduction of Arbor Day in
the Western States, millions of acres of
trees have been planted and are grow
ing, that would otherwise never have
been set in the ground. On Arbor Day in
Kansas it is estimated that 100000 trees
were planted. In treeless Nebraska it is
said they have planted 100000 acres of
trees. The value of such work cannot be
computed in dollars and cents. Arbor
Day should be observed in every state in
the West until our railroads and homes
are empowered in shade trees.-Arkansas

board elections In 1881, 1871 ladies
voted, and in 1886, l,911. The largest
possible female vote in the state
is $40, 900 and hence it would appear
that, after six years, less that six
